Abstract (en)

[origin: US2013204814A1] Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for spiking neural computation of general linear systems. One example aspect is a neuron model that codes information in the relative timing between spikes. However, synaptic weights are unnecessary. In other words, a connection may either exist (significant synapse) or not (insignificant or non-existent synapse). Certain aspects of the present disclosure use binary-valued inputs and outputs and do not require post-synaptic filtering. However, certain aspects may involve modeling of connection delays (e.g., dendritic delays). A single neuron model may be used to compute any general linear transformation x=AX+BU to any arbitrary precision. This neuron model may also be capable of learning, such as learning input delays (e.g., corresponding to scaling values) to achieve a target output delay (or output value). Learning may also be used to determine a logical relation of causal inputs.
